Campaign, the reelection in november, and apparently, wolf, does not want to say anything that could infuriate the president. Perhaps one reason he did not want to answer that question. But no doubt about it, wolf, republicans did not want to embrace these concerns today perhaps because the president is so about the mueller probe. Manu raju on capitol hill. Joining us now, republican congressman chris stewart. Hes a member of the house Intelligence Committee. Congressman, thanks so much for joining us. Good afternoon. The president has told his Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, to stop the Russia Investigation right away. Is that in your opinion Obstruction Of Justice . I think it would be very, very difficult as a prosecutor to make the case. Im not an attorney but common sense would tell me its going to take much more than that to prove any kind of
News, analysis and interviews with politicians and observers. Meaning in this other than you have to pay your taxes, and you cant lie on a loan application. Time is going to tell who is to be trusted around here and who isnt. Including everybody. We begin there with the president in crisis and the stunning fact, yes, fact, that the foundation of that crisis. The president of the United States is an unindicted coconspirator in a felony Campaign Finance case. If that isnt enough, the Special Counsel won convictions on eight counts in his first major trial. That are the former Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort. The president s reaction today is beyond telling. Hes attacking his longtime lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen who decided to cooperate with the feds and is praising Paul Manafort who the president says is refusing to break under pressure.
